Nice one, see its produced by William & Clay... good record too... cheers Alan

Wow, thats allot of money, £550, Some members on here, some years back, really took exception me to stating this was worth allot less than was agreed on the thread, I cant remember how much, but justification came my way not that long after when I picked one up in a Glastonbury record shop of all places, not mint by any stretch, but for £60 quid. Great lp...

Tony Turner has come back on text to say is it, Gene & Jerry cover up? I'm guessing on their Mercury Lp , nope, its an R&B thang... see below, anybody recognise this? 22 William Clay - Go on and Be Yourself.m4a

Got this in my i-Tunes, dont recognise it at all, good record, anybody know the label, has it been a spin in the past? William Clay - Go on and Be Yourself / ?

William Bostic - What You Do to Me, is a killer too

May have been mentioned, but Curtis Anderson 'The Hardest Part' Brown Bay, killer track, still rare, and still on my wants list...! as is UNITY.. cool record. add insome stuff like this... UNITY - Face to Face Curtis Lee - Steppin Marc Sadane - One Minute From Love Dionne Warwick - Meant to Be Ben E. King - We Got Love Cloudburst - I'm Loving You

This is really sad, he's one of those artists, that holds a special place in everyone's heart. He was such a s brilliant singer, and by the look of it, had a great personality. Rest in Peace Randy Brown

Not showing yet Chris, just says coming soon, and a short message fron Simon. Is he a Simon, or a Simone? French?

A few likes, but very few wiling to put their toe in the water... lol Maybe we should keep this thread on ice till the interview comes out, then you can have your say. I would state though, for allot of us on here, Simon Soussan is just a name from the 7ts, I'm too young to have dealt with, or met him, but I know allot of you older guys did.. Christ sake I'm 55 and there are older guys!

Really looking forward to this, has anybody mentioned, or discussed Simon Soussan appearing soon on the Charley YT Channel? Heard all the stories, bought loads of his pressings in the past, heard about the acetates he would send to the DJs at the casino, and the lush White carpets at his place in Leeds, I guess in the early 7ts, and of course the madness that ensued around records he sold, but never supplied... BUT, other than on Soul Train, I’ve never seen him in discussion, so this is to be an interesting interview... Had dealings with SS, love to know about it...

They're at it AGAIN!! Two fab soul 45's, I for one, think the Bilbao branch of the rare scene has been doing it, above all others for a fair few years now, the weekendsrs have finished, but every release in their labels are 'Gotta Have Items...'! Keep em comin Alex and co

More Dreadful News, So young, so talented, Rest in Peace Angie Stone

This is really worth watching, great footage, Soho, and the 2 'i's' coffee bar which has been mentioned a load of times on here... it's about Brigitte Bond.

They are all fake.

Just got this through the door, this is an AWSOME Lp of soul music, best Ive had in ages...

Surprised to find so much is known about the label, makes sense really, it is a Vanity Press, and outside of Jean's writing duties, Cyril Roberts was their go to man. I guess he would likely set the session up, so he was a 'fixer' as well.

This is awful news, as Valentina says above; A true GIANT of Soul music! Rest in Peace Jerry Butler.

I wonder if we might add Tammy Wayne into the list of perhaps miss cast singers with the wrong song? She has/had a strong voice, but that song always sounded out of key to me, maybe this is another case, as Robb has mentioned, a classically trained singer recording a pop song, with a standard TV American accent. There are allot of cases where a writer puts a 45 out, think of Rockie Brown on Penntown, she wrote a few other tracks, I think her real name was Pat Caldwell. What do we know about the writers and producer on Terri goodnight? I wonder, have they got form else where in R&B and Soul?

Reminds me of the early 9ts, when I had it on a tape, I was hooked into that walkman! love it for that, and of course its dog rare and all that, but lets face it, she isnt Mary Wells...

In Morrisons earlier, they do a pretty good Organic Coffee, but I'm not sure about their More Card price offers...

Blimey that did my brain, very nearly an Oxymoron Robb...! lol Could B. Thomas, be Bob? and if so, who was B. Thomas? if one singer, maybe one of these credits is simply a joint writer... I know thats obvious given two singers / writers mentioned on the label.

Great interview/s Graham, really enjoyed it. So much in there, but how the sound was achieved on Bob And Fred was really interesting, listening to it back now you know immediately those strings were dubbed over later, and it’s great to learn how they got the basic tracks bass sound. 20 rca type mics hung from a ceiling of a theatre in front of the band playing the track live. I have never really liked George Lemon's on Gold Soul, I’ve warmed to it, but the vocal although has a quality is not good, I never knew they operated the way they did, really interesting stuff. Great interview, Can I ask is this all you have on Ron, or do you have enough for a part 2?

Oh WOW, Phyllis Hyman, I want one...

What a record, had both versions, and I've come down on the side of Leroy Barbour, but not easy or cheap record to get these days... label does look cool as well... Had loads of long time Aussie wants recently, a real glut of gooduns, Tony Drake on Aussie MCA, alluded me for years, when I did see one, I didn’t have the dosh, but eventually I got one for 150 quid, sold my yank issue for allot more, so made on that!! Garland Green - Angel Baby on MCA, 20 years to get that one. seen another since! The Charts on Sceptre, The Monclairs - Wait For Me on Green/white Atlantic, Joe Stampley And The Uniques - Not Too Long Ago on Festival, Bobby Patterson - I'm in Love With You Yellow/Blk Festival, now I got all his on festival! its been really good on this stuff...

Ok, bit different, but request for Somebody to sell me a really really brilliant 20 quid record. Sixties / seventies, doesn’t matter. A record you think, that’s so good, but only still worth 20 quid. pm me pls, not on this thread, and don’t try to edge the price up, I won’t answer if I see that. Come on tell me what you got? malc
